Y& #39;all, I have a million other things that are more important to do than sit down and read Kanye West& #39;s contract, which he signed as an informed millionaire who could afford a whole building of lawyers.
If it& #39;s a bad deal, he shouldn& #39;t have signed it bc he sure didn& #39;t need to.

As I said on Twitter pretty recently, I believe, the only thing you& #39;re learning from an artist who& #39;s just now becoming upset over not owning their masters is they have never paid attention to a Prince interview.
Learn history or don& #39;t but this is what happens if you don& #39;t.

Speaking on my own business, I will die before I sell 1% ownership of Cocaine & Rhinestones under any terms, for any price. Ask any network or corporation who& #39;s tried to buy it if I even waited for them to give a dollar amount before I said no.
Exclusive licensing deals (similar to the big stories in podcasting right now) were sometimes offered as a followup. These may work for some musicians/artists/projects but my goals are to spread information as far as possible, not put it behind any kind of wall. So, also a no.
Having spent my entire life around older artists and heard about all the bad deals they& #39;ve signed, I have a literal physical and spiritual inability to compromise in this area. It has not made things easy on me but it was never going to be easy, was it?
